Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	3 Months Ended
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Mar. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation Throughout this report, the terms “our,” “we,” “us,” and the “Company” refers to FleetCor Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company prepared the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation. These adjustments consist primarily of normal recurring accruals and estimates that impact the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at period-end. The related translation adjustments are made directly to accumulated other comprehensive income. Income and expenses are translated at the average monthly rates of exchange in effect during the period. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in net income. The Company recognized foreign exchange losses of $145,000 and $175,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively, which are classified within other expense, net in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. Adoption of New Accounting Standards Qualitative Impairment Test for Indefinite-Lived Intangibles In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-02, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other,” which gives companies the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite lived intangible asset is impaired. The proposed guidance is similar to ASU 2011-08 for goodwill. Companies would consider relevant events and circumstances that may affect the significant inputs used in determining the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset. A company that concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of such an asset exceeds its carrying amount would not need to calculate the fair value of the asset in the current year. However, if a company concludes that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired; it must calculate the fair value of the asset and compare that value with its carrying amount, as is required by current guidance. ASU 2012-02 will be applied prospectively for annual and interim impairment tests performed. ASU 2012-02 was effective for and adopted by the Company beginning January 1, 2013. The Company’s adoption of this ASU did not affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI)” (ASU 2013-02). Under ASU 2013-02, an entity is required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of AOCI by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. ASU 2013-02 does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. ASU 2013-02 was effective for and adopted by the Company beginning January 1, 2013. The Company has not reclassified any items out of AOCI to the income statement during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities In December 2011, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” which requires entities to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on an entity’s financial position. The amendments require enhanced disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (i) offset in accordance with current literature or (ii) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with current literature. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. This standard will become effective for us beginning October 2013. In January 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-01, Scope Clarification of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, to limit the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosure requirements to derivatives (including bifurcated embedded derivatives), repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions. As we are not party to any derivatives, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, securities borrowing and lending transactions we do not expect the adoption of these standards will have a material impact on the presentation of or disclosures within our financial statements. Pending Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Standards Foreign Currency In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05 “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity”, which indicates that the entire amount of a cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) related to an entity’s investment in a foreign entity should be released when there has been a sale of a subsidiary or group of net assets within a foreign entity and the sale represents the substantially complete liquidation of the investment in the foreign entity, loss of a controlling financial interest in an investment in a foreign entity (i.e., the foreign entity is deconsolidated) or step acquisition for a foreign entity (i.e., when an entity has changed from applying the equity method for an investment in a foreign entity to consolidating the foreign entity). The ASU does not change the requirement to release a pro rata portion of the CTA of the foreign entity into earnings for a partial sale of an equity method investment in a foreign entity. This ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The Company’s adoption of this ASU is not expected to affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows unless transactions within the scope of the ASU occur.

Receivables [Abstract]

Accounts Receivable

2. Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains a $500 million revolving trade accounts receivable Securitization Facility. Pursuant to the terms of the Securitization Facility, the Company transfers certain of its domestic receivables, on a revolving basis, to FleetCor Funding LLC (Funding) a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote subsidiary. In turn, Funding sells, without recourse, on a revolving basis, up to $500 million of undivided ownership interests in this pool of accounts receivable to a multi-seller, asset-backed commercial paper conduit (Conduit). Funding maintains a subordinated interest, in the form of over-collateralization, in a portion of the receivables sold to the Conduit. Purchases by the Conduit are financed with the sale of highly-rated commercial paper.

The Company utilizes proceeds from the sale of its accounts receivable as an alternative to other forms of debt, effectively reducing its overall borrowing costs. The Company has agreed to continue servicing the sold receivables for the financial institution at market rates, which approximates the Company’s cost of servicing. The Company retains a residual interest in the accounts receivable sold as a form of credit enhancement. The residual interest’s fair value approximates carrying value due to its short-term nature. Funding determines the level of funding achieved by the sale of trade accounts receivable, subject to a maximum amount.

On February 4, 2013, the Company extended the term of its asset Securitization Facility to February 3, 2014. The Company capitalized $0.6 million in deferred financing fees in connection with this extension.

The Company’s accounts receivable and securitized accounts receivable include the following at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):


	March 31, 2013			December 31, 2012
Gross domestic accounts receivable	$	137,517		$	96,964
Gross domestic securitized accounts receivable		385,000			298,000
Gross foreign receivables		508,523			447,940

Total gross receivables		1,031,040			842,904
Less allowance for doubtful accounts		(19,576	)		(19,463	)

Net accounts and securitized accounts receivable	$	1,011,464		$	823,441

All foreign receivables are Company owned receivables and are not included in the Company’s accounts receivable securitization program. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there was $385 million and $298 million, respectively, of short-term debt outstanding under the Company’s accounts receivable Securitization Facility.

A rollforward of the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts related to accounts receivable for three months ended March 31 is as follows (in thousands):


	2013			2012
Allowance for doubtful accounts beginning of period	$	19,463		$	15,315
Add:
Provision for bad debts		4,460			4,957
Less:
Write-offs		(4,347	)		(2,530	)

Allowance for doubtful accounts end of period	$	19,576		$	17,742

- Definition

The entire disclosure for claims held for amounts due a entity, excluding financing receivables. Examples include, but are not limited to, trade accounts receivables, notes receivables, loans receivables. Includes disclosure for allowance for credit losses.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

3. Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. The carrying value of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, securitized accounts receivable and related facility, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits and short-term borrowings approximate their respective carrying values due to the short-term maturities of the instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s debt obligations approximates fair value as the interest rates on the debt are variable market based interest rates that reset on a quarterly basis.

The Company’s nonfinancial assets which are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets. As necessary, the Company generally uses projected cash flows, discounted as appropriate under the relevant guidance, to estimate the fair values of the assets using key inputs such as management’s projections of cash flows on a held-and-used basis (if applicable), management’s projections of cash flows upon disposition and discount rates. Accordingly, these fair value measurements fall in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These assets and certain liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as part of the Company’s annual impairment assessments and as circumstances require.

Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). These valuation techniques are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions.

As the basis for evaluating such inputs, a three-tier value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

•

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•

Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar or identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

•

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

Level 2 fair value determinations are derived from directly or indirectly observable (market based) information. Such inputs are the basis for the fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments. The Company has certain cash and cash equivalents that are invested on an overnight basis in repurchase agreements. The value of overnight repurchase agreements is determined based upon the quoted market prices for the treasury securities associated with the repurchase agreements. Certificates of deposit are valued at cost, plus interest accrued. Given the short term nature of these instruments (less than 90 days), the carrying value approximates fair value.

Level 3 fair value determinations are derived from the Company’s estimate of recovery based on historical collection trends. There were no Level 3 assets or liabilities which required fair value determinations at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair values on a recurring basis and that are subject to the disclosure requirements as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands).

Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract]

Share Based Compensation

4. Share Based Compensation

The Company has Stock Incentive Plans (the Plans) pursuant to which the Company’s board of directors may grant stock options or restricted stock to employees. The Company is authorized to issue grants of restricted stock and stock options to purchase up to 26,963,150 shares as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. There were 783,266 additional shares remaining available for grant under the Plans at March 31, 2013.

The table below summarizes the expense recognized related to share-based payments recognized for the three month periods ended March 31 (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013		2012
Stock options	$	2,871	$	2,277
Restricted stock		1,291		1,557

Stock-based compensation	$	4,162	$	3,834

The tax benefits recorded on stock based compensation were $1.3 million and $1.2 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Company’s total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based compensation as of March 31, 2013 (in thousands):


	Unrecognized Compensation Cost		Weighted Average Period of Expense Recognition (in Years)
Stock options	$	26,535		2.25
Restricted stock		6,213		1.19

Total	$	32,748

Stock Options

Stock options are granted with an exercise price estimated to be equal to the fair market value on the date of grant as authorized by the Company’s board of directors. Options granted have vesting provisions ranging from one to six years. Stock option grants are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to vesting.

The following summarizes the changes in the number of shares of common stock under option for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 (shares and aggregate intrinsic value in thousands):


	Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Options Exercisable at End of Period		Weighted Average Exercise Price of Exercisable Options		Weighted Average Fair Value of Options Granted During the Period		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2012		6,565		$	22.17		2,666	$	14.71			$	206,636
Granted		60			58.02					$	16.29
Exercised		(298	)		18.20								17,404

Outstanding at March 31, 2013		6,327		$	22.70		2,476	$	14.42			$	341,471

Expected to vest as of March 31, 2013		6,327		$	22.70

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercisable at March 31, 2013 was $154.1 million. The weighted average contractual term of options exercisable at March 31, 2013 was 5.9 years.

The fair value of stock option awards granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model during the three months ended March 31, 2013, with the following weighted-average assumptions for grants during the period.


Risk-free interest rate	0.57	%
Dividend yield	—
Expected volatility	34.84	%
Expected life (in years)	4.0

There were no stock option awards granted in the three months ended March 31, 2012.

The Company considered the retirement and forfeiture provisions of the options and utilized its historical experience to estimate the expected life of the options.

Prior to June 30, 2012, the Company estimated the volatility of the share price of the Company’s common stock by considering the historical volatility of the stock of similar public entities. In determining the appropriateness of the public entities included in the volatility assumption the Company considered a number of factors, including the entity’s life cycle stage, size, financial leverage, and products offered. Beginning July 1, 2012, the Company began utilizing the volatility of the share price of the Company’s common stock to estimate the volatility assumption for the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of a zero coupon U.S. Treasury security with a maturity equal to the expected life of the option from the date of the grant.

The weighted-average remaining contractual life for options outstanding was 7.3 and 7.4 years at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Restricted Stock

Awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units are independent of stock option grants and are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to vesting. The vesting of the restricted stock and restricted stock units granted is generally based on the passage of time, performance or market conditions. Shares vesting based on the passage of time have vesting provisions ranging from one to four years.

The fair value of restricted stock granted based on market conditions was estimated using the Monte Carlo option pricing model at the grant date. The risk-free interest rate and volatility assumptions for restricted stock shares granted with market conditions were calculated consistently with those applied in the Black-Scholes options pricing model utilized in determining the fair value of the stock option awards. No such awards were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

The following table summarizes the changes in the number of shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units for the three months ended March 31, 2013 (shares in thousands):


	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested at December 31, 2012		472		$	28.98
Granted		36			58.02
Vested		(21	)		30.02
Cancelled		(25	)		29.99

Unvested at March 31, 2013		462		$	33.39

Acquisition

5. Acquisition

2013 Acquisitions

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company completed foreign acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price of $94.8 million.

Fleet Card

On March 25, 2013, the Company acquired certain fuel card assets from GE Capital Australia’s Custom Fleet leasing business. The consideration for the transaction was paid using the Company’s existing cash and credit facilities. GE Capital’s “Fleet Card” is a multi-branded fuel card product with acceptance in over 6,000 fuel outlets and over 7,000 automotive service and repair centers across Australia. Through this transaction, the Company acquired the Fleet Card product, brand, acceptance network contracts, supplier contracts, and approximately one-third of the customer relationships with regards to fuel cards. The remaining customer relationships will be retained by Custom Fleet, and are comprised of companies which have commercial relationships with Custom Fleet beyond fueling, such as fleet management and leasing. The purpose of this acquisition was to establish the Company’s presence in the Australian marketplace. This business acquisition was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill recognized is comprised primarily of expected synergies from combining the operations of the Company and the Australian fuel card company. The goodwill related to this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. The allocation of purchase price is preliminary due to the timing of the acquisition and our quarter end.

2013 Totals

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price for all acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2013 (in thousands):

During 2012, the Company completed several foreign acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price of $207.4 million, net of cash acquired, which includes a deferred payment of $11.3 million and a contingent earn-out payment of $5.2 million.

Russian Fuel Card Company

On June 15, 2012, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of a leading Russian fuel card company. The consideration for the transaction was paid using the Company’s existing cash and credit facilities. The acquired company is a Russian leader in fuel card systems and serves major oil clients and hundreds of independent fuel card issuers. Its technology allows issuers to share their retail network, thereby expanding the reach of their networks. Results from the acquired Russian business have been reported in the Company’s International segment since the date of acquisition. The purpose of this acquisition was to further expand the Company’s presence in the Russian fuel card marketplace. This business acquisition was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Goodwill recognized is comprised primarily of expected synergies from combining the operations of the Company and the Russian fuel card company. The goodwill acquired with this business is not deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocation related to this acquisition is preliminary.

CTF Technologies, Inc.

On July 3, 2012, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of CTF Technologies, Inc. (“CTF”), a British Columbia organization, for $156 million. The consideration for the transaction was paid using the Company’s existing cash and credit facilities. CTF Technologies Do Brasil Ltda and certain of the Company’s other subsidiaries are wholly-owned entities of CTF. The acquisition was carried out pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and was approved by final order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia. The purpose of the transaction was to establish the Company’s presence in the Brazilian marketplace.

CTF provides fuel payment processing services for over-the-road fleets, ships, mining equipment, and railroads in Brazil. CTF’s payment platform links together fleet operators, banks, and oil companies. CTF earns revenue primarily from a recurring transaction fee paid by the oil companies who purchase services for their fleet customers under multi-year customer contracts. Goodwill recognized is comprised primarily of expected synergies from combining the operations of the Company and CTF. The goodwill acquired with this business is not deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocation related to this acquisition is preliminary.

The Company’s reportable segments represent components of the business for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in determining how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates in two reportable segments, North America and International.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	11. Commitments and Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The Company has recorded reserves for certain legal proceedings. The amounts recorded are estimated and as additional information becomes available, the Company will reassess the potential liability related to its pending litigation and revise its estimate in the period that information becomes known. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Since 2010, the Company has been involved in an investigation by the Office of Fair Trading in the United Kingdom, relating to its Keyfuels product line. This product line consists of the Company’s proprietary payment card and associated site network in the United Kingdom. A competitor alleged the Company was dominant in a relevant market with its Keyfuels product. The Office of Fair trading has investigated the allegations and following an extensive enquiry process, the Company was advised in April 2013 that the Office of Fair Trading has reached the provisional conclusion to close the case on the basis that there are no grounds for action. The Company was further advised to expect a provisional reasoned closure decision in the summer of 2013. The provisional opinion will be open to interested third parties to make representations before any final decision is made. A final decision is expected in late 2013.

Subsequent Event	3 Months Ended
Subsequent Event	Mar. 31, 2013
Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Event	12. Subsequent Event On April 30, 2013, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of CardLink Systems Limited and assets from CardLink Processing Limited, CardLink Software Trust and Cecam Taxi Dispatch Trust, collectively referred to as CardLink. The consideration for the transaction was paid using the Company’s existing cash and credit facilities. CardLink, a fuel card issuing and payment processing company, based in Auckland, New Zealand. CardLink provides a market-leading proprietary fuel card program with near universal acceptance at retail fueling stations across New Zealand. CardLink markets its fuel cards directly to mostly small-to-midsized businesses, and provides processing and outsourcing services to oil companies and other partners. Cardlink’s clients and partners have been developed over the past 25 years, and include a number of major oil companies and corporate brands. With this transaction, the Company assumed a $12.0 million New Zealand dollar ($10.0 million) revolving line of credit, which will be used to fund the working capital needs of the CardLink business. The purpose of this transaction was to establish the Company’s presence in the New Zealand marketplace. This business combination is not material to the consolidated financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	3 Months Ended
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Mar. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Throughout this report, the terms “our,” “we,” “us,” and the “Company” refers to FleetCor Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company prepared the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation. These adjustments consist primarily of normal recurring accruals and estimates that impact the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at period-end. The related translation adjustments are made directly to accumulated other comprehensive income. Income and expenses are translated at the average monthly rates of exchange in effect during the period. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in net income. The Company recognized foreign exchange losses of $145,000 and $175,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively, which are classified within other expense, net in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards	Adoption of New Accounting Standards Qualitative Impairment Test for Indefinite-Lived Intangibles In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-02, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other,” which gives companies the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite lived intangible asset is impaired. The proposed guidance is similar to ASU 2011-08 for goodwill. Companies would consider relevant events and circumstances that may affect the significant inputs used in determining the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset. A company that concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of such an asset exceeds its carrying amount would not need to calculate the fair value of the asset in the current year. However, if a company concludes that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired; it must calculate the fair value of the asset and compare that value with its carrying amount, as is required by current guidance. ASU 2012-02 will be applied prospectively for annual and interim impairment tests performed. ASU 2012-02 was effective for and adopted by the Company beginning January 1, 2013. The Company’s adoption of this ASU did not affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI)” (ASU 2013-02). Under ASU 2013-02, an entity is required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of AOCI by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. ASU 2013-02 does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. ASU 2013-02 was effective for and adopted by the Company beginning January 1, 2013. The Company has not reclassified any items out of AOCI to the income statement during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities In December 2011, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” which requires entities to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on an entity’s financial position. The amendments require enhanced disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (i) offset in accordance with current literature or (ii) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with current literature. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. This standard will become effective for us beginning October 2013. In January 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-01, Scope Clarification of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, to limit the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosure requirements to derivatives (including bifurcated embedded derivatives), repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions. As we are not party to any derivatives, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, securities borrowing and lending transactions we do not expect the adoption of these standards will have a material impact on the presentation of or disclosures within our financial statements.
Pending Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Pending Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Standards Foreign Currency In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05 “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity”, which indicates that the entire amount of a cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) related to an entity’s investment in a foreign entity should be released when there has been a sale of a subsidiary or group of net assets within a foreign entity and the sale represents the substantially complete liquidation of the investment in the foreign entity, loss of a controlling financial interest in an investment in a foreign entity (i.e., the foreign entity is deconsolidated) or step acquisition for a foreign entity (i.e., when an entity has changed from applying the equity method for an investment in a foreign entity to consolidating the foreign entity). The ASU does not change the requirement to release a pro rata portion of the CTA of the foreign entity into earnings for a partial sale of an equity method investment in a foreign entity. This ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The Company’s adoption of this ASU is not expected to affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows unless transactions within the scope of the ASU occur.
